Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The spiritual successor to classic fighter Guilty Gear, BlazBlue is a refreshing entry into the beat-em-up stable – even featuring a convoluted story-based campaign. Characters are beautifully animated, while special attacks dazzle; it’s easy to get to grips with, too, utilising just four attack buttons. That’s not to say that the fighting system isn’t deep; attacks can be chained and even halted halfway, while the “Heat Gauge” regulates special attacks. In fact, there’s almost too much going on to keep track of at first glance; persevere, however, and you will be rewarded by an absorbing, wellhoned experience.
